Description: | Incomplete copper alloy sheet plate, probably from a buckle. The plate is roughtly rectangular with three straight sides and one broken edge. It is 19.4mm long, 11.7mm wide, 1.0mm thick and weighs 0.9 grams.The plate has a pair of rivet holes 5.0mm from the unbroken end; both c.2.0mm in diameter; these are unevenly placed, one being 3.7mm from the nearest long side, the other 1.7mm with 2.3mm between them. The plate is heavily corroded and friable but has traces of gilding around the rivet holes and on lines running parrallel and close to the longer edges.Without distinctive decoration or shape this item is difficult to date although the size, thickness, condition of the copper alloy and the traces of gilding may suggest a medieval or early post medieval date, 1200-1700AD.
